Mom: Sits down with paint and paint brushes, ready to begin painting trim in the hallway.
Emily: Walks up with a skip in her step. Sits down and proceeds to pick up a paint brush. Proclaiming her excitement "OK!"
Mom: "No, Emily. You need to be a Big Girl to paint."
Emily: "I'd not the babies..."
Mom: "You are a Big Girl. But painting is for Big Big Big Mommy Girls."
Emily: "I'ddddd not the babbbbieesss..."
Mom: "No you are a Big Girl. But you need to..."
Emily: Starts walking away, but not before turning around with tears in her eyes, whimpering... "I'dddd not the babbbbieessss."
Mom: "Sweetie..."
Emily: Walks away, circles back again, then locks her crying eyes to mine. Breaking my heart as she proclaims... "I'dddd not the baaaabbbbieeeesssss..."
Darn. Why does she have to be right??!
